GO FULL-THROTTLE IN MAGIC: THE GATHERING, AETHERDRIFT

Racers… Make your way to the starting line! A death race through the multiverse is about to begin, the Ghirapur Grand Prix!

From 7 February onwards, Wizards of the Coast will launch prerelease events for Aetherdrift, the latest set for the world-renowned trading card game, Magic: The Gathering (MTG). Buckle up for a death race across the multiverse full of high-octane action and adrenaline-fueled Magic gameplay! Aetherdrift will be released for tabletop on 14 February.

Too fast and dangerous for just one plane…

Get behind the wheel and strap into the driver’s seat, as the stakes are high in the multi-plane Ghirapur Grand Prix! The ultimate prize is an artificial Planeswalker Spark named the Aetherspark. None other than the legendary Planeswalker Chandra herself will be competing for first place as she seeks to claim the Aetherspark for her beloved Nissa, who lost her Spark during the events of March of the Machine. Can you handle the heat as you accelerate to Maximum Speed across Avishkar, Amonkhet, and Muraganda? Go for gold or go out in a ball of flames. But most importantly…go very, very fast.

Local WPN Stores “Race To Victory” with a new play program!

Southeast Asia Wizards Play Network (WPN) stores are revving their engines to prepare for Race To Victory! Running from 7 February 7 until 30 April, eligible events at participating WPN retailers will feature exclusive physical rewards. By playing multiple events throughout the season, players will build speed and receive better and better rewards. Players can search for their local WPN store and eligible events here.

By participating in eligible Aetherdrift in-store Prerelease events, Draft events, Standard events, Commander events, and Other events (e.g. Modern, Sealed, Legacy), players can earn progressive rewards such as a Campaign Pins from the 3 universes in Aetherdrift, A3 posters of 2 Graffiti Giants featured in the set, 2 race tags, and a customized Speed/Lifecounter !

Be the first 3 players to finish in-store by 23 March and qualify to compete for the individual country Aetherspark trophy

Additionally, the first 3 players within each WPN store who complete the Race To Victory tracking card by 23 March will be eligible to be qualified for the Race To Victory country championships and compete for an Aetherspark trophy. In total, 5 trophies will be up for grabs across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia, with each trophy featuring the name of the country where the trophy was competed for.

New and exciting Mechanics

Aetherdrift racers are encouraged to utilise all tools at their disposal to achieve glory. Soup up your ride and chances at victory with the brand new Max Speed mechanic! When a card instructs the player to “Start Your Engines” the player will begin tracking their speed level. On each of that player’s turns, when an opponent loses life, they gain one level of speed until reaching ‘Max Speed’. Various cards will interact with the player’s speed level, generally ramping in power as speed increases. 

Generating speed leads to high-octane gameplay moments, but sometimes a once-off quick effect is needed to put a spanner in the opponent’s plans! Exhaust is a new mechanic in Aetherdrift and represents a one-shot effect that can only be activated once each game. Kick into high gear at a precise moment to chase down an opponent or solidify your lead in the race!

Not many racers can claim victory without a valiant Mount or sturdy Vehicle, so both are key returning mechanics in Aetherdrift. Racers will select between various high-tech or rudimentary vehicles and many-legged or no-legged mounts, all in the hope of achieving glory. What style of racer will you be when you take to the track?

Go for Gold!

Go fast, but look good doing it with Aetherdrift’s lineup of new card treatments and collectible cards that will have the crowds of the multiverse cheering for more.

SERIALISED AETHERSPARK

The ultimate prize, the Aetherspark, will be available in an exclusive Serialised Full-Art, Borderless Foil treatment, with only 500 to be printed across all regions. Each card will display an X/500 denominator, only available in Collector Boosters.

GRAFFITI GIANTS

Giant artworks of Gods have been spotted along the race track. Don’t get distracted as you drive by these breathtaking Borderless Graffiti Giant cards, available in Play and Collector Boosters.
